An exhibit featuring the works of the late Magnus Johnstone, Larger Works & More, will be on display at the Nave Gallery, 55 Powder House Blvd., Somerville, from March 9 to 17.

The Sunday, March 10, reception will be preceded by a 1:30 p.m. panel discussion about Johnstone’s life in Boston from the 70s – 90s, hosted by friends Mark Flynn, Margaret Bailey Rosenbaum, Michael Shores and Chris Guttmacher. The panel will also explore Johnstone’s associations with the Punkt/Data Gallery, Skunk Piss Magazine and Gallery East.

All proceeds from the sales of these works will go to the Johnstone family, to help safely store, maintain and market his work.

Magnus Johnstone was known to many Bostonians from his tenure in town from the late ‘70s through the late ‘90s as a trailblazing radio DJ on WZBC 90.3 FM and WMBR 88.1 FM, as well as working as a visual artist. He passed away on February 22, 2013, at the age of 60, after a vibrant life filled with art, music and community.

He left behind over 80 large canvases [most 72” by 55”] as well as dozens of medium and smaller sized works. Following the very successful Soaring Through The Matrix show in August 2018 – one of Nave Gallery’s most popular shows in recent years – Magnus Johnstone: Larger Works is the second of what his family and friends hope will be ongoing local and national exhibits that will display and sell his remaining work.

This time, most of the featured work will be Johnstone’s larger, oil-on-stretched-canvas paintings, and will mark the first time these have been seen in the Boston area since the early 1990s. There will also be a selection of Johnstone’s remaining medium-sized, oil-on-stretched-canvas pieces (between 30” wide and 50” tall), with some selected smaller works (oil-on-cardboard, approximately 12” by 14”).
